Mancini v Torino

Roberto Mancini faces Toro for the 6th time as a coach and is unbeaten
against the Turin side, with 3 wins and 2 draws.

The two coaches meet for the 12th time after 6 Mancini wins, 4 draws
and just 1 Novellino victory. The current Toro coach's only win
against a team coached by Mancini came on 2 December 2001 when
Piacenza defeated Fiorentina 3-1 away.

With 19 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats from 26 games Roberto Mancini's
teams have a points per match average of 2.34 in December - his best
month of the footballing calendar. All three defeats came in the
2001/02 season when Mancini was coach of Fiorentina. Since the last
defeat, a 2-0 reverse at Parma on 23 December 2001, Mancini's teams
have played 21 games in the 12th calendar month, winning 18 and
drawing 3.

Inter's long scoring run at home

The Nerazzurri have scored in 45 consecutive league games at home,
netting a total of 106 goals. Inter 0-0 Reggina on the last day of the
2004/05 season was the last time Mancini's team failed to score in a
Serie A home match.

Inter's 321-minute invincibility

Floccari's 39th-minute goal in Inter 2-1 Atalanta on 24 November 2007
was the last conceded by the Nerazzurri. Including the remaining 51
minutes of that game plus the entire matches against Fenerbahçe (3-0
home win in Champions League), Fiorentina (2-0 away win in Serie A)
and Lazio (3-0 home win in Serie A), Inter haven't let in a goal for
321 competitive minutes.

One Toro win in last 12 away games

Torino's 1-0 away victory over Roma on 13 May 2007 was the Granata's
last league win on the road. The Turin outfit have since played 11
Serie A away games, drawing 6 and losing 5.

MILAN - Inter produced a dominant display to thrash Torino 4-0 at the Meazza, a result which stretches their lead at the top of the Serie A table to five points as Roma were held 1-1 at Livorno.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the floodgates from the penalty spot shortly before the interval, with Julio Cruz, Luis Jimenez and Ivan Cordoba adding second-half goals.

Roberto Mancini made numerous changes to the team that beat Lazio in midweek, handing Materazzi his first start since returning from injury and pushing Burdisso into a midfield role with Chivu slotting into a left-back position. Cruz started alongside Ibra in attack while Cesar returned in his customary left-wing role.

The first chance of the game came after five minutes when Ibrahimovic tested Sereni with a right-foot shot from the edge of the area.

The reigning Italian champions went close again in the 15th, Sereni blocking Cesar's angled shot with his feet.

Nicola Ventola should have edged the Granata in front on 26 minutes but the former Inter man miskicked his shot from Di Michele's cross.

Inter broke the deadlock in the 38th when Ibrahimovic was brought down by Toro captain Comotto after a delightful through ball from Cruz. The Swedish forward stepped up to the spot and coolly stroked under Sereni for his 14th goal in all competitions this season.

The Nerazzurri came out for the second half with Luis Jimenez on for Cesar. The resulting tactical switches on the field had the Granata players in disarray and Inter took full advantage with two quick goals.

Five minutes in Chivu crossed from the left edge of the Toro box and Cruz headed past Sereni to double Inter's lead. Two minutes after the Argentine's ninth goal of the season Jimenez scored his and Inter's third, finding the far corner with an unstoppable rising drive.

Mancini made a further change in the 60th minute, bringing on Portuguese Under-21 international Pelé for Materazzi.

Toro boss Novellino introduced ex-Inter forward Recoba for Rosina and El Chino almost had an immediate impact, his curling corner kick headed on to the crossbar by Natali.

Ivan Cordoba made extra sure of the points in the 76th, powering home Burdisso's headed assist from Chivu's corner.
